Truly THE BEST!!! Sharp as a tack & has tight connections with all of the top specialists if you ever need them. He was my pediatrician and also cares for my kids and my nephews plus most of my friends’ & neighbors’ kids. He is so intuitive and knowledgeable that he can be trusted to make an accurate diagnosis or get you to the right specialist if he isn’t absolutely positive himself. He has a phenomenal bedside manner, the kids love him, and my husband and I completely trust him with our kids’ health—he has never missed a diagnosis and we’ve thrown some tricky ones his way. He also doesn’t over-test; he only does what’s necessary. Another important factor: He trusts that parents know their kids best! If you go in there and insist something isn’t quite right with your child, he *believes you* and makes it his mission to figure it out. We never feel rushed & he loves chatting with the kids. He truly listens to them and their concerns, and he asks further questions in very comfortable ways so kids will be okay opening up to him even if the topic is awkward. He’s a fan of traditional vaccination schedules but is also very supportive if a parent has a strong preference to postpone vaccines. Dr. Lowther also takes a strong interest in our kids’ mental health, regularly asking them how school is going, who their friends are, what they do for fun, and questions about their emotions that are phrased easily enough for them to answer, plus he has a written questionnaire once they get close to the ages where depression becomes more common and he has great therapeutic/psychiatric contacts if their [confidential] answers give him cause for concern. He doesn’t hesitate to take your calls outside of regular office hours and treats every patient with the same care & attention to detail that he’d give his own child or grandchild. Highly recommend him and have recommended him for 40+ years. I dread the day he retires & pray it’s not until my youngest reaches adulthood. He’s the Superman of pediatricians!

Dr. Lowther is the best diagonostic doctor a mother good ask for. My daughter had bacterial meningitis and Dr. Lowther diagnosed it in the office before an official test. She was hospitalized and his diagnosis was proven correct. I trust him implicitly.
